LIVE scoring and commentary from the Cricket World Cup encounter between Afghanistan and England at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
Flamboyant opening batsman Rahmanullah Gurbaz hit a blistering 80 as Afghanistan, buoyed by some lusty late hitting, made 284 against defending champions England in the World Cup on Sunday.Gurbaz, 21, piled up his runs off 57 balls with eight fours and four sixes to register his eighth score in excess of fifty in his brief ODI career.
The impressive Rashid finished with 3-42 from his 10 overs having initially broken Afghanistan's 114-run opening stand when he had Ibrahim Zadran caught. Stokes has still not recovered from the hip injury which kept him out of the first two games, a defeat to New Zealand and victory over Bangladesh."It looks a pretty good batting wicket," said England captain Jos Buttler.
The two countries have only met twice before, with England winning convincingly on both occasions - by nine wickets at the 2015 World Cup in Sydney and 150 runs in Manchester four years ago.Who we choose to trust can have a profound impact on our lives.
